hey gamers i'm STILL UP

 

i'm doing some graphics edits while testing a build of Windows XP-C and i'm so confused by the logos......

Spoiler: installer gui as seen during installation

(photo description of what's contextually important for the story: a black background with a small gray gradient area in the center. in the background, a medium gray text shows a Microsoft Windows logo and reads "welcome". an unmatching pink logo with white text shows a Microsoft Windows logo and says "Microsoft / Cosmo Windows XP-C". below the photo are four bubbles, top three are checked with a black box around them, one is unchecked and highlighted, bottom is unchecked. both unchecked bubbles have blue artifacts around them)

the logos are a bmp (bitmap) file. the creator of the logo didn't realize that bmps can't be transparent, so they have a pink background due to the compiler trying to fill the blank.

i next attempt to recolor the background of the bmp to match the background of the installation gui (which is a GRADIENT by the way. i am attempting to recolor a logo to represent a gradient)

this is the original image. the pink background is the big issue. i thought "hey i'll just recolor it to match the background, no problem!"

so i recolor the background and

what the fuck???? it's GREEN??? maybe i just don't quite understand the integrity of bitmap images, or the person who created this really FUCKED UP

my next thought process is "okay, i'll recolor the green to match the rest of the text" NO BIGGIE, RIGHT????

it's pink now. IT'S PINK NOW. IT'S FUCKING PINK

i'm strugglin here. i decide, "hey, perhaps i'll just recolor the pink now."

OH GOD TURN DOWN THE BRIGHTNESS

i'm just kind of sitting here, stunned. i think "hey, maybe i should recolor the pink to black instead?"

i have some progress but THE GREEN IS RETURNING

i'm just in an infinite loop of green and pink and i haven't even gotten to the buttons yet. computers are wild.

 

So I ended up redoing the logo with a couple of aesthetic changes (logo placing & dynamic-looking text)

i'm going to recompile the ISO to do a test run to see how the logos look

EDIT: now that i see the image, i think i'm gonna edit the placement of the flag

 

I changed the placement of the Windows logo earlier

 

(i didn't put these in my graphic design thread since they aren't finished products btw)

 

hey gamers i'm gonna write some MIDI SONGS SOON YEET

@ McDonald’s WHAT IS A SENIOR SPRITE

 

how do u get rid of back pain when nothing helps

 

Uninstall back pain from devices menu


...Idk man, witnessed and i hope you feel better

 

thanks. unfortunately, back pain is actually a command line stuck in my body's autoexec.bat file and i can't currently edit it without corrupting the whole operating system :(
